Hansen, Mark S.; Coffin, Cheryl M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Pax3:Fkhr interferes with embryonic Pax3 and Pax7 function: implications for alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cell of origin. | To investigate the role of the translocation-associated gene Pax3:Fkhr in alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas, we generated a Cre-mediated conditional knock-in of Pax3:Fkhr into the mouse Pax3 locus. Exploring embryonic tumor cell origins, we replaced a Pax3 allele with Pax3:Fkhr throughout its expression do... | Neuroprogenitor; Embryogenesis | 2004-11-01 |

Moon, Ann M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Roles of Fgf4 and Fgf8 in limb bud initiation and outgrowth. | Although numerous molecules required for limb bud formation have recently been identified, the molecular pathways that initiate this process and ensure that limb formation occurs at specific axial positions have yet to be fully elucidated. Based on experiments in the chick, Fgf8 expression in the in... | Animals; Apoptosis; Forelimb; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; High Mobility Group Proteins; Hindlimb; In Situ Hybridization; Mesoderm; Mice, Mutant Strains; Trans-Activators | 2004-09 |

Coffin, Cheryl M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas in conditional Pax3:Fkhr mice: cooperativity of Ink4a/ARF and Trp53 loss of function. | Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive childhood muscle cancer for which outcomes are poor when the disease is advanced. Although well-developed mouse models exist for embryonal and pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas, neither a spontaneous nor a transgenic mouse model of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma has... | Cell Differentiation; Forkhead Transcription Factors; Myogenic Regulatory Factors | 2004-11-01 |

Moon, Ann M.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Fgf8 is required for outgrowth and patterning of the limbs. | The expression pattern and activity of fibroblast growth factor-8 (FGF8) in experimental assays indicate that it has important roles in limb development, but early embryonic lethality resulting from mutation of Fgf8 in the germ line of mice has prevented direct assessment of these roles. Here we rep... | Animals; Body Patterning; Bone Morphogenetic Proteins; Ectoderm | 2000-12-26 |
